If they'd fly it into something in Paris or Hamberg

In December 1994, Islamic terrorists hijacked plane in Algeria and flew it to Marseilles, France. They wanted to top the fuel tanks off and then fly to Paris.

The speculation was that they wanted to crash it into a Parisian landmark.

Their plot failed when French commandos stormed the plane and killed them.

The US knew about plans, (Project Bojinka), to hijack planes and crash them into buildings since 1995. You can read about Project Bojinka hereCIA, FBI Knew Since 1995 About Possible Hijack Scheme

Well I was half-joking on my first early morning cuppa coffee, but you bring up events that are interesting. I barely remember this so will try to look at your links later.

I was going to ask why the French are being so difficult at this point regarding terrorists etc. when they were nearly attacked in the past. Then I remembered OKC and the first WTC attack. I guess it takes something huge to get people's attention. Like the UN HQ bombing, perhaps we have the UN's attention now.
